No Action Seen on Relief Integration by Linn County Board
Linn county supervisors indicated no immediate move on integrating the county relief, old age assistance, and blind aid programs under a county social welfare director as required by a new state law. The board, citing autonomy concerns, has delayed action and awaits further guidance while state officials consider funds and potential centralization. Clarence H. Petty succeeds Fred Stirm as board member in the 1940 organization, and no joint session has occurred to review the integration issue.
